Arrival of the salmon

April 19, 1806
There was great joy with the natives last night in consequence of the arrival of the salmon. One of those fish was caught; this was the harbinger of good news to them. They informed us that these fish would arrive in great quantities in the course of about five days.

Several Indians applied to me today for medical aid, one a broken arm,
another inward fevers and several with pains across their loins, and sore
eyes. I administered as well as I could to all.--William Clark
